Pepperoni slices 🍕 – As many as you like! (1-2 cups recommended)
Olive oil 🫒 – 1 tbsp (for brushing the crust)
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Add olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Stir until smooth. Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
Make the Sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and salt. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Assemble the Pizza:
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a large pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into an extra-large circle (about 16-18 inches).
Carefully transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Spread the sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the sauce. Arrange pepperoni slices on top.
Bake the Pizza:
Slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Perfect Crispy Roast Potatoes 🥔✨
These crispy roast potatoes are golden on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the ultimate side dish for any meal! Yum Yum 😍😍
Ingredients
Potatoes 🥔 – 2 lbs (Yukon Gold or Russets work best)
Vegetable oil 🛢️ – ¼ cup (or duck fat for extra flavor)
Salt 🧂 – 1 tsp
Black pepper 🌶️ – ½ tsp
Garlic powder 🧄 – 1 tsp (optional)
Fresh rosemary or thyme 🌿 – 2-3 sprigs (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the potatoes:
Peel the potatoes (or leave the skin on for a rustic look). Cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1.5 inches wide.
Boil the potatoes:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato chunks and parboil for about 10 minutes or until the edges are just tender. Drain and let them dry for 5 minutes.
Rough up the edges:
Toss the drained potatoes in a colander or a bowl to rough up the edges. This helps create extra surface area for crispiness!
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place your roasting pan in the oven to heat while preparing the potatoes.
Coat with oil:
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder. Make sure each piece is evenly coated.
Roast the potatoes:
Carefully remove the hot roasting pan from the oven and spread the potatoes in a single layer, ensuring they’re not crowded. Roast for 30 minutes.
Flip and finish roasting:
After 30 minutes, flip the potatoes using tongs or a spatula. Add fresh rosemary or thyme on top if desired. Roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Serve immediately:
Sprinkle with extra salt and pepper if needed, and serve hot.
Tips for Crispy Potatoes
Type of potato: Use starchy potatoes like Russets for extra crispness or Yukon Gold for a creamier interior.
Don’t overcrowd: Give the potatoes space on the pan to ensure they roast, not steam.
Preheat the pan: A hot roasting pan helps create that initial sear on the potatoes.
Enjoy these crispy roast potatoes with your favorite main course or as a snack with your favorite dip!
